This is a fun and simple recipe to make and it’s a fun spinoff from my tiramisu recipe. It’s great on its own, with fresh fruit, or to spruce up pancakes or crepes. Whenever I make tiramisu, I always have half of the mascarpone cheese mixture as a leftover. You can go ahead and use that remaining half to make this custard and keep it in a container in the fridge for easy access.
Mascarpone Custard
This is a fun spinoff from my tiramisu recipe. Easy and fast to make, its a dessert that can be served by itself, with fresh fruit, or with pancakes or crepes.
Equipment
- mixer with whisk attachment

- With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the same whisk attachment, beat the mascarpone and rum together on medium speed until smooth. I didn’t bother cleaning the whipped cream out of the bowl or whisk.
- Place a heat-proof bowl over a small pot of simmering water over medium-low heat. Don’t let the water touch the bottom of the bowl. Using a whisk to mix the egg yolks and 1/4 cup (50g) of granulated sugar together until light and foamy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately pour it into the mascarpone mixture. Beat on medium speed until combined.
